Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land allotment under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976, specifically Section 20, which allows for exemption from ceiling limits. The Court held that the Baroda Municipal Corporation's resolution to sell land to Lokprakashan Limited was valid, as the necessary exemptions were granted by the State of Gujarat. The judgment affirmed the High Court's decision, allowing the appellant's claim for land allotment and emphasizing adherence to statutory procedures.
